How can one design be at once so plain, and yet so distinguished? The two little neck tabs just absolutely make it, but even without them, this is a gorgeous piece. If you can knit and purl (and pick up around an edge, but there’s scads of online help for that, not that it’s hard), you can make this. And having done it once, you’ll do it again and again for the ease and versatility of the piece. The underarms are slightly indented and curved, and the sleeve caps are virtually little half-moons. Please note that some negative ease is recommended, and check your size carefully.
